(pic somewhat unrelated, also sorry 'bout wall o' text)

So, I'm just getting into TF2, and I'm a complete noob at things. I am P2P, as I did do research before picking up the game, but other then the base mechanics I'm totally lost.

I was wondering if any regulars had any server suggestions for me to get good? I don't wanna be a noob forever.

I've already looked on google, either they're newbie servers (how am I supposed to git gud if I'm constantly playing against my own skill level?) or just suggesting that noobs find the comp/higher skill level servers, but I don't know (once again) which ones are more friendly ones to go on.

Also yes, I have played against bots, but they aren't people? I have a feeling a bot strat is very different then playing against actual people.

Any help is much appreciated. From what I've seen you guys know the game very well, better then some of the suggestions I've seen. (I got a domination in a server that was friendly, but not orientated to what I was looking for. I had been playing in a server for the first time for about an hour at that point. No.)

Can you give us a bit more info, such as how many hours you have played and what region you're in (no use suggesting NA servers to a European)?

Ah, sorry. So far I've played a good 14 hours (like… 30 mins idle time and I'm probably gunna bot again soon) and I'm in North America, central/east coat region.

That's not nearly enough.

Get to about 500h, to get a sense of the game and then get into advanced stuff.

All you can do now is play pubs and maybe do some jump maps for rocket jumping.

KND(and friends) like to pub on skial servers. (mostly badwater and upward?) Those servers have instant respawn on too, so if you die you'll be back in the game in a heartbeat.

Just play on valve servers and skial servers if you want, I like tf2app servers, as well.

Once you have around 500~ hours or so, and do your research you should be good enough to scout/solly in hl tf2center lobbies.

Valve servers are fine, there's enough potatoes to keep the skill floor low with the occasional vet here and there to push your shit in. Learn medic first then soldier or scout whichever you're more comfortable with.

This. Valve servers are honestly very good. You will spend a lot of time dying before you get very good at effectively killing. Playing as every class at least a bit is important as you get used to their health pool and speed natively and know how to react to them.

Also, turn on the thing that makes a dinging sound and shows you the numbers for the damage you deal in options, or advanced options, or whatever. Otherwise it can be confusing as your client will sometimes play physics hit sounds, even with melee, when you in fact hit nothing according to the server.

Playing as classes and dying to classes will teach you how they work and what methods and strategies they use. Feel free to test out new weapons you get from achievements or random drops, but remember not to get caught up in using crutches like the black box or the backburner/phlog. It will hurt your playstyle long term.

And you will die pointlessly a LOT. It will keep happening no matter how good you get, just less often as you improve and get familiar with the maps. Don't be afraid to explore the maps a little, there's usually at least one sort of hidden passage somewhere.
